Does anyone have the tracklisting to the Moonlit Bonus Mix? I want to send these off today but the idea of 22 untitled songs fills me with angst.
Angus, "One of Our Submarines" just KILLS me. Love it unconditionally.
'Heart Of Gold'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Yes.
It was odd... when I stuck the CD into iTunes it just came up with 22 unnamed tracks. But when I stuck it into my linux box the cd program used some other CDDB server and came up with all the track titles, artists, etc.
Anyway, when I get a spare sec. I'll email 'em to you.
eta: There were 19 tracks on the Bonus CD... right?
eta²: Oh, I found the list on an email to myself. Insent to your profile address....
eta³: Or should I post the list here? Anyone else want to see it?
Got it! Thank you!
I think I was using "22" as a generic mix cd number. :-)
Joe, this means these will go out to you today or tomorrow. Watch for 'em!
Erincaeous, glad you like "One of Our Submarines"; how glorious were the early 80s when this kind of thing was actually in the charts!
I've always liked "One of Our Submarines" but I never knew it charted. (Was that in Britian, the US, or both?) I thought "She Blinded Me with Science" was the only hit from that album.
No, you're probably right, tommyrot, I have no idea whether "Submarines" itself charted, just reflecting on the general fact that the charts (esp. the British charts which are the only ones I pay attention to) were full of weird esoteric electropop around that time. (But I believe "Wind Power" did also chart in the UK.)
I think "Hyperactive" also charted in the US. Nowhere near as high as "Science", but I remember hearing it a lot for a spell there.
eta, always adored "Submarines". And "Wind Power" for that matter.

Don't forget about Siouxsie Sioux.
As for songs, how could you all forget the classic Specimen tunes, "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," and all of the Cure's "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me?"
I think "Hyperactive" also charted in the US.
It did, but, yeah, not very high. Also, one of the track off of Aliens Ate My Buick did vaguely well, I think it was Airhead.

I just bought this from iTunes. The melody is familiar--not sure about the rest of it. Did he borrow the melody from some other song? or is it a cover? If not, then I've actually heard this back when.
